On the studio recording of Fresh Tattoo by the Mountain Goats from their smash viral record, Jenny from Thebes, after the line "legend of the shield in Greek" you can hear the horns go "BA BA BAAA!!!"
During the debut live performance of Fresh Tattoo, in lieu of horns, Peter Hughes bravely fills in the absence of the horns with his voice.
The rest is recorded history.
All clips used in this stunning compilation were sourced from
the Live Music Archive. God bless and thank the tapers, Peter Hughes, the Mountain Goats, the power of friendship and live music, and all who dedicate their lives to the bit.
There are two different versions here, one documenting The Genesis to Peter's last recorded BA BA BAAA before retiring from the band. The other spans nearly all of the available BA BA BAAAs from 2023 - 2024.
Check out my themed live! Mountain Goats compilations on my profile, sign up for mine and my husband's silly little fan newsletter at
